The "Making Music with Arduino: The Arduino Programming" is a full Arduino programming course dedicated to musicians. If you only want to build MIDI controllers without learning how to code, you can watch only the MMwA, but if you want to get deeper, create your codes, understand my and other people's code, that's the course for you!
In this course, you'll learn the Arduino language (C based), and about electronics. This way, you'll be able to think about any project that comes to your mind and realize it, not depending on other people's code, circuits, etc.
So, if you want to take your creativity to the next level, creating solutions that look like magic to other people, you'll love the MMwA: The Arduino Programming!

Gustavo Silveira is a composer, multimedia artist, and maker. Silveira holds a Bachelor's degree in music composition from the Federal University of Pelotas and a Master's degree in Music and Technology from Georgia Southern University in the United States.
Since 2015, Gustavo has been creating musical interfaces with Arduino, such as MIDI controllers and synthesizers, and has created the blog Músico Nerd, where he shares various open source projects and tutorials in the field.
In 2018, he was a finalist in the Guthman New Music Instrument Competition, the world's most important competition for new musical instruments, with the XT Synth. In 2019, he worked as a Human-Computer Interaction Electronics Designer at the IDIA Lab at Ball State University in the United States, creating interactive audiovisual installations.
Gustavo has presented his work as a maker at major Maker Faires such as the Bay Area Maker Faire in San Francisco and the World Maker Faire in New York, and his work has been featured on specialized websites such as Gearnews, DJ Tech Tools, and the Arduino website.
